Independent Lodge

When you are staying inside a chain hotel, you can be in any city or town & the rooms all look the same. From Redding to Redlands, there is no difference.

No unique decor, no local pamphlets on area attractions, no wonderful view of the river. No recommendations on dinner restaurants. Total Escape does not list chain hotels on our web site. We believe in supporting the mom-n-pops, the small independent inns, the rural cabins, the resort properties, the real back road businesses – that desire your business.

Common links point to third party vendors that lists chains, but we would rather save our page space for the real gems of California.
